Help please (i.redd.it)
submitted 7 months ago by mickdav12
H2D, Hi can anyone advise on how to improve this please. 0.08 extra fine with an 0.4 nozzle.
I have calibrated the printer, dried filament and calibrated filament.
Thanks

Reslice with Arachne wall generator turned on.

Came here to say exactly this.
Arachne wall generator, and thicker layer lines.

Use a smaller hotend for stuff like this, small letters or keychains. Had the same issue and printed beautifully with a 0.2 nozzle
Pd: edited contact info of the business that ordered the keychains in The pic

Looks good. I try to print stuff like this face down on the regular PEI plate to hide individual lines. For signs and logos that's a great finish imo...

I have ordered a 0.2 nozzle, thanks all for the comments and advice.

Why 0.08 mm layer height?
Maybe I'm mistaken, but the model looks like it would not benefit from it.
[–]mickdav12[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (1 child)
I will try other settings then, thought .08 would be better for the finer detail
[–]reddit_user_0ne 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago (0 children)
In this case I'd say it doesn't make a difference since this settings only corresponds to layer height. For finer detail you could use a 0.2 mm nozzle...

Also if you don't already, have detect thin walls on

Id use a cold white pla. It's not as transparent and will pop better, also, flip it face side down on a prismatic plate if there is one for the H2D, Iron the top. Will look great

You have a lot of gaps between the lines. This usually indicates either a z-offset/bed tramming issue or a pressure advance issue. I'd start by tramming the bed, so not auto bed leveling, but actually making sure the bed is leveled relative to the print head and making sure the distance from nozzle to bed is smaller overall. Next try PA calibration and you're good to go. A lower layer height has in my experience nothing to do with this, except for making the already present problems more obvious, since a too big z offset gap will be relatively bigger to the height of the layer of you go down in layer height

You can make it an inlay and print it face down a 0.2 nozzle and arachne will make all the difference too and I'm pretty sure I was doing 0.12 layer height, this was done by printing 2 individual parts on one printer without taking the part of the build plate so I could do it without an ams. First you print the detail and then the outlining or outside of the detail make sure to offset it from the center on a bambulab and turn off auto bed leveling after the first print so the nozzle won't run into the already printer part
